The Appeal
The Mercedes-Benz W114/115 series represents the pinnacle of 1970s German engineering, offering sophisticated luxury in a practical package. The 220 combines the smooth-running 2.2-litre petrol engine with the reliability and build quality that made these cars known for their longevity.
Indeed, a 220D is still the high-miler at Mercedes-Benz's official museum, having been donated by a Greek cabbie after he’d covered an astonishing 2.9 million miles. These are simply one of the most enduring cars in the world!
Acquired by the current owner in 2003, this 220 has benefited from approximately £20,000 of expenditure, including extensive bodywork restoration with new panels, mechanical refurbishment, and careful maintenance by specialists Thornley Kelham in Cirencester and ETN Vereenooghe in Belgium.
